Players of the week

Eight players scored 10 TFF points in Week 12 but Leroy Sane is selected as player of the week for his role in Manchester City's 3-2 win against West Brom.

While most teams across Europe have adopted the use of inverted wingers, Guardiola uses the traditional approach with Sane on the left, Sterling on the right, and the system is reaping the rewards.

The £4.9m rated winger scored and added a key contribution as City set the record for the best start to a Premier League campaign and it's really hard to see them grinding to a halt anytime soon. They host Arsenal in Week 13 and then face Leicester, Huddersfield, Southampton and West Ham before their trip to Old Trafford in December.

Championship: Kieran Dowell (£2.8m)

It was a week to remember for £2.8m rated Kieran Dowell as the 20 year old midfielder hit a stunning hat-trick in Nottingham Forest's 3-2 win against Hull. He's currently in just 0.7% of all teams but is sure to see his stock rise after three fantastic left-footed finishes, including the winner from the penalty spot.

Forest are now just a point off the play-off spots and will be pushing hard with Reading, QPR and Brimngham up next.

Managers of the week

Premier League: Jamie Baird from York

Jamie Baird was the manager of the week, scooping himself a £100 first prize. His team, Totcfc, chalked up 102 TFF points, one more than the Premier League team of the week (see below).

Championship: James Ryder from Slough

James Ryder picked up his second managerial award in as many weeks as he topped the leaderboards with 95 points. He collects another £100 prize and sees his name appear again in the TFF 2017/18 hall of fame.

Teams of the week

Premier League: 101 points

New Leicester City manager Claude Puel oversaw a 2-0 win against Everton in Week 12 and as a result three Foxes make an appearance in the team of the week. Christian Fuchs, Demarai Gray and Jamie Vardy earned 27 TFF points between them and it was a nostalgic performance that brought reminders of their title winning heroics two seasons ago.

David de Gea returns to his regular spot between the sticks. Manchester United are still yet to concede a Premier League goal at Old Trafford this season after a 1-0 win against Spurs, while Andre Ayew capped off an impressive week with a goal and key contribution in West Ham's 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace.

Premier League team of the week.

Championship: 92 points

Florian Jozefzoon once again leads the line in the Championship team of the week after providing two assists in Brentford's 3-2 win against Preston. He's joined up top by Britt Assombalonga who scored in Middlesbrough's 2-0 win at Reading.

Week 12 scout report

20,000 TFF managers were left exasperated in Week 12 as they replaced Harry Kane with Sergio Aguero. The £6.8m rated striker was left on the bench for Manchester City and didn't even make a substitute appearance as Pep Guardiola preferred to rest the Argentinian for tomorrow night's trip to Napoli.

Unsurprisingly, Leroy Sane has now been drafted into 6,000 more teams, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan seeing his ownership fall as a result. The Manchester United midfielder hasn't benefitted from Jose Mourinho's defensive focus in recent weeks and hasn't chalked up any notable points since he scored against Everton back in Week 6.
